There's been discussion about this in the past on the list.  I am
personally in favour of a solution which allows us to preserve the
committer and signature information in headers in the patch and apply
that to synthesize a complete commit.

I know many people who work on a patch-based workflow _don't_ want to
resynthesize the entire commit and would prefer to keep the current
approach, which I also think is fine.  However, there are situations
where end-to-end provenance is useful and so is email, and I think it's
worth supporting.

It is on my ever growing backlog of projects I'd like to implement but I
don't have any immediate plans to do so.
